a wonderful piece of musical excellence captured forever. jerry's playing throughout this show is phenominal. if you're true to the music it will shiver your spine, if not, it'll leave you behind.

This Wharf Rat is right on the money, glorious!
The Playin' In The Band jam is exploratory.
Definitely by the board if you can, it's crisp. The Here Comes Sunshine from 11/30, which is included in that edition, is gorgeous too.
I'd make you a copy if necessary, considering it's not going for retail prices anymore. chrisjp77@yahoo.com

and don't want to shell out the $, then do yourself a favor and download this beast. It sounds like a good audience recording of an incredible show. The best parts, of course are on the release, so it's well worth your money. Playin'>MLB jam gives me the chills every time, especially when they go right away out of Playin' into the minor key theme (F , E , F-E-D; those are single notes, not chords). They tapped into something deep and heavy on that night. One of those shows that demonstrate the healing power of music.

Lots of ling and perplexing jams here very 73 with 74s playing the mind left body jam out of an awesome playing is bliss and the rest of the show aint half bad either..

Awesome. Simply awesome recording of this second of a two night run (11/30 &12/2/73)at the Boston Music. Lean five piece with Donna off tour with soon to give birth. The Half Step here is beyond solid. Listen for Phil to rail on about tunes played and so forth at the end of Ramble. Great Show and well done !!!

all i can think of doing when i here this masterpiece is sittin back on my couch with a fat packed bowl and let those jams run through my head... this ones definetly a keeper for quality and a great performance.. my favs are playing in the band and mlb jam...

...and can someone please explain what is going on when i think phil asks for a spotlight on someone in row four on banter??

Reviewer: fmichael - - March 15, 2006
Subject: lots of energy (even if the sound is a little thin)
Great talk with the crowd. I think it's Phil who literally has a spotlight put on a narc in the fourth row.

Let It Grow is phenomenal. And farewell to you oh Southern skies, I'm on my way . . . . A good clean burn all the way around that really brings you into it. And this may be some of Jerry's alltime guitar work. Winding up with a statuesque Morning Dew.

Nice quality aud rec of a great show. I have the sound board of this show and absolutely love it. It's nice to here the audience getting pumped when I usually do. Great overall effect.

Reviewer: Bobstopper - - December 12, 2005
Subject: Very nice, thank you
This crowd is partial to the party. I had no idea they could play another polka besides 'Mexicali', but this one's fukingruuven. I love that the first set has dragged on so long they can't even finish Let it Grow a few inches short. Highlights? That RambleonRose is wound around tight. The 1/2step had my dancin' shoes all a'fire, the end is such an arching triumph with lots of high fives amongst former strangers. By the end of the meaty, high octane, Truckin' Jam, I was ready to go up and shake the Hand (ya dig).
FEELS like an AUD tape. Modern ones tend to lack that, but ...(sigh)... Glad it's still here.

the segment from wharf rat -> end of the show is amazing. the transition from half step into playin' sounds like they did it hundreds of times, and the mlb jam is probably my favorite, coming out of space that reminds me of someone driving you nuts by making noises with a deflating balloon.

Reviewer: Benzosity - - January 19, 2005

Based on the Playin' alone i would have to rate this as one of the best of '73. Average first set. But the playin' melts down and gets so far out that it sounds like they're fighting aliens, or dinosaurs. Get this one if you like quality weirdness. The aud source sounds pretty good too, I would suggest a slight cut around 2k (about 1-2 db), a small boost at 8k, and another around 125.
